Yes it’s true that other range finders can potentially work for golf, but generally they don’t work that well, and if your interested in saving yourself the aggravation of a rangefinder that has all the wrong features then we suggest buying a unit specifically designed for golf and in particular this Nikon Rangefinder. Of all the ones we’ve tested the Callaway unit made by Nikon is tops. The reason is simple. The unit is easy to use and preprogrammed exactly for the needs of the golfer. Written below is a range finder review written by one of our staff members:
Range Finder Review
The Callaway LR550 from Nikon is by far the best designed and best functioning unit on the market. In all of our tests the unit performed flawlessly under all conditions. This unit is made specifically for golf and thus is preprogrammed with the exact features need for golfers and spared the other features usable to hunters and other rangefinder users. Here is a list of some of the features that make this unit a best pick for golfers.
- First, the unit offers a 6x magnification which is perfect for the golfer, plenty of magnification but not so much that the image suffers from tunnel vision or is and shaky. You’ll find the view steady and bright and it will be easy find what your looking for.
- Second, the unit comes preprogrammed with a “first target priority” mode. This feature is the miracle of digital processing at work, essentially the software built into the unit tells this to ignore all other targets except the first target it sees. This is perfect for the golfer who wants to range the distance to the green or pin but wants to ignore the trees behind it. This is a must have feature on any serious golf range finder, and its standard on this Nikon range finder.
- Third, and this feature works hand in hand with the ‘first target priority” mode program, this unit comes with an exceptionally high quality laser and a very sensitive receiver; ranging results display with half yard accuracy for distances less than 100 yards and one yard accuracy for distances beyond. It’s amazing how accurate this unit is, we had no problem ranging the smallest of targets even at long distances.
- Forth, this unit has a very handy 8 second display feature. Simply push the button once and the display will read continuous ranges for 8 seconds. This allows you to sweep the target with the aiming cross and perfectly nail down the exact range.
When you consider the needs of the golfer against the features of the range finder is clear to us that Nikon has really hit the target with its Callaway LR 550!
